Latin name - Claytonia sibirica
Claytonia sibirica (Siberian Spring Beauty, Siberian Miner's Lettuce, or Candy Flower) is a flowering plant in the family Portulacaceae, native to Siberia and western North America. A synonym is Montia sibirica. The plant was introduced into the United Kingdom by the 18th century where it has become very widespread.
It is found in moist woods. It is short-lived annual with hermaphroditic flowers which are protandrous and self-fertile. The numerous fleshy stems form a rosette and the leaves are lanceolate. The flowers are 8-20 mm diameter, with five white, candy-striped, or pink petals, flowering is between February and August.
An example of the variation found in Claytonia sibirica is the subspecies known as the Stewarton Flower, so named due to its local abundance in that part of Scotland and recorded as such by the Kilmarnock Glenfield Ramblers.
In 1915 it was stated to have been in the area for over 60 years and was abundant on the Corsehill Burn. As the plant is very adept at reproducing by asexual plantlets, this has maintained the white varieties gene pool around Stewarton. The pink variety has not been able to predominate here, and only occurs occasionally, unlike most other localities in Scotland. |

Hi,
Lovely composition for this beautifully colored flowers, lovable. tfs.
nagraj.v
Very nice color of a flower.
Sharpness and detail are quite good.
Congratulations.
I shall add this to the only other thing I am knowledgeable about and that is the Siberian Tomato which I have grown from heritage seeds and they live in 28 degrees! This is a wonderful lesson Gert and points out one more for the medical book..I shall have to give this one a study but chances are it is one of those more esoteric herbals not easily found over here in herbal stores...
